Who are Dick & Sharon?

Dick and Sharon are a pair of citizen journalists who got fed up with the status quo. Fed up with the do nothing politicians, the say nothing media, and the unengaged populace. Together they write for, edit and publish the LA Progressive Ezine (electronic magazine) and distribute its weekly e-news every Sunday morning.

Originally from Minneapolis and New York respectively, Dick and Sharon have a blended family of four children (Raheem, Wade, Deva, and Linnea), three children-in-law (Dan, Kelli, and Yoko), a cat named Cee and a boa constrictor named Adelaide.

Both have day jobs but have been progressive activists and anti-racists for more than 30 years, each supporting progressive causes in their own way.

Says Sharon, “The LA Progressive gives us an opportunity to contribute to our community. We especially love hearing from our readers.” Please contact them if you have an announcement. You can also submit comments in the comments field at the end of each article. Your participation is greatly encouraged and is as essential as the articles.

The LA Progressive — A No Fluff Zone

The LA Progressive began as an electronic magazine for progressives living in and around Los Angeles. It quickly gained attention well beyond Los Angeles. So, today, we publish reports and comment on issues of political, social, and cultural consequence to progressives everywhere.  Our articles advocate progressive positions and policies but conservatives are also welcome to read and comment. But if you are looking for  celebrity gossip or the latest Hollywood scoop, you’ve come to the wrong place. The LA Progressive exists to provide a means of expressing progressive viewpoints and to champion the causes that promote the betterment of society particularly the lives of the dispossessed and powerless.  __________________________________________________________________________________
